Styish Leatherman Tread Bracelet Is Actually Usable Multiple Tools on Your Wrist
Leatherman Tool Group has released a unique wearable multi-tool equipment, Leatherman Tread bracelet. It’s a 17-4 stainless steel high strength, corrosion resistant bracelet where you can find 2 to 3 functional tools, making a total of 25 usable features such as screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.
Inspired by a trip to Disneyland where Ben Rivera, the president of the company stopped by a security for carrying a knife, but actually it was Skeletool. Since Rivera didn’t want to give it up, the security guards had to escort him to make sure he took it all the way back to his hotel room. Keeping this in mind, Rivera wanted to design something that would enable him to carry his tools and be accepted by security, so, the design process began.

As user, you’ll be happy to know that this bracelet has been designed to be fully customizable with slotted fasteners, in this way, you can rearrange links, reduce, or add new ones.
